can not let go or throw

[Arsat]

Unfortunately it happens again and again that you can't release or throw items...

Stupid if you can't get rid of them like with debris.... Grrrrr

Thanks for the report. If you press F you are still unable to release the debris or item?

[Arsat]

Nothing happend when i hit F or hold F.
it sticks to me like chewing gum... only reloading helps...

Strange. Could you try a quick file verification of your game to make sure nothing is corrupt.

I've just tested the game and the grab/release mechanic is working ok, but just wonder if there's anything gone awry with your installation.

I think you're playing on the German language, which I also tested to see if it was a UI issue, but couldn't replicate.

I already had to do it anyway because of your problem with Avast... that's not the problem.
The problem is not always. just press F several times on the same part... you should be able to trigger it well with that

I just had a held converted mine explode by another hostile mine in one of those distress calls, and I couldn't release the now broken mine afterward. The mine remained tethered to the ship, despite my attempts to get it stuck in any nook and cranny I could find. It also blocked me from using cruise and jump.

At least I got away by using maxed out energized boost and charge a jump during the boost.

Just did as you do, repeatedly pressed F but it grabbed release the debris without issue.

Also, the reason I asked if you could do another file verification is that the UI should show to use F to grab & release the debris is missing on your screenshots.

Thanks for confirming. It always helps.

Maybe the same answer as from my other bug report will work. I took both items from the screenshots in confined spaces... Mesh problem ?

Initially do you see the UI element that says "F Grab"?

No prompt at all, and I could pick up and release another mine just fine while the broken one kept trying its best to block me from seeing the rest of its friends.

Thanks. I've grabbed the details and collating a better picture for the team to try to narrow down the issue. If either of you have a save with a known piece of debris or item that isn't allowing you to release we might need to take a look at it.

You can access your save games from "%localappdata%\ES2\Saved\SaveGames".
Grab both files making up the save: YourGameSave.sav and YourGameSave_PREVIEW_.sav. Send them across to [e-mail].

If you reference this thread in the email title that would be appreciated.

I am having a similar issue, where "f" does not work in the game.

I have tried:
- reinstall
- new bind on "f"
- reset

Nothing seems to work. What is interesting is that it does work in some of the scenario panel navigations, just never in the game and not as a "skip" function.

i had this bug multiple times myselfe. what i noticed was that its not a individual piece u grab but when u do fast movement or there is another piece nearby it happens more often. not always thou. and when it happens there is no promt to let go. also the game doesnt register that piece as something u hold. i could jump or travel but it just detects a collison and thats what hinders me to jump. hope that helps

[bL@H]

I had this happen as well. it started when i picked up two debris at once and could only hit f and release 1 item the other debris stayed in my tracker beam with no options.
